Hi Uncle Jay,

Wonderful episode as usual.

In response to R. Lee’s question:

Do you want to do the job of telling the Baby Boomers (aka people over 50) that it’s time to quit their jobs and pack up? It would mean no more motorcycles and crazy trips to Egypt for them. That now they’ll have to be the old farts they’ve avoided most of their lives becoming, actually grow up, and get themselves to admit that life doesn’t focus on them anymore–but their children? If you can figure out how to do all that… well were would Uncle Jay go?

R. Lee,

No that’s really easy; the hard part is that it would cost 40 trillion dollars ($40,000,000,000,000) and I don’t think even this congress can convince anyone to spend MORE than our current GDP. But stranger things have been happening lately . . .

Patriotic retirement:

There’s about 40 million people over 50 years old in the work force – pay them $1 million apiece severance with stipulations.

1) They leave their jobs. Forty million job openings – Unemployment fixed.

2) They buy NEW American cars. Forty million cars ordered – Auto Industry fixed.

3) They either buy a house/pay off their mortgage – Housing Crisis fixed.

WHAT? This too easy ?

Uncle Jay – when will my gov’t start handing out stimulus checks to average Americans who can really jump start this economy? My family and I played by the rules but yet it’s the crooks & deceivers getting the bailout. Is it to late for me to start my own bank in Boca Raton FLA? How about Goldie’s Bailout Bank of Boca? Or GBBB for short?

Dear Uncle Jay,

Although you say the Koreans fired their missile because they misunderstood the meaning of “getting fired,” the Hope n’ Change website says they really did it because they DID understand the meaning of “Yes we can!”

HI ONCLE J:
It’s dangerous to mention ROCK in connection with currency in any part of LA.

Thank you so much of answering my question. I was getting tired of going from store to store hoping to get one of the Obama’s CD’s. I feel very dumb.
My Mom has a friend that had a business that went under. Mom is mad cause the lady and her husband ‘racked up’ $140,000.00 on a whole bunch of credit cards in just three years time and aren’t going to even try to pay any of it back. (Something about rupturing a bank.) BUT, Mom said that they get to keep the car, trips, lunches and dinner, computers, and all kinds of neat stuff. Mom got mad when I asked why didn’t we get cool stuff the same way they did.
Do you think America can just walk away from debt, like my Mom’s friend? (I wish she would stop worrying about America’s credit cards, I’m tired of hearing her complain about it ALL THE TIME!)
Thanks Uncle Jay and have a good news week!!!! Lynda/PSJ, Florida

Not to contradict dear uncle Jay but the media has found a replacement sobriquet for the Obamas. Now they are getting “treated like royalty” not only by the media but by all of Europe who, seemingly, don’t have enough of their own.
